How to keep up with Twitter using Siri

Siri can dictate your tweets to help keep your social status at its peak, but it can also keep you up-to-date on all of the goings-on in the Twitter-verse. You can find out what your favorite celebrity is tweeting about, search for a specific term, or find out what's trending on the micro-blogging social network. Here's how.

How to see what a specific person is tweeting about with Siri

Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri on your iPhone or iPad.

Say something like What is Lady Gaga tweeting about?

Siri will then pull in recent tweets by that specific person.

Tap on a tweet to read more, view details, or launch in the Twitter app.

How to search a specific term or hashtag on Twitter with Siri

Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri on your iPhone or iPad.

Say something like Search Twitter for #iPhone where you'd say hashtag followed by whatever topic you'd want. You don't have to use the hashtag if you'd prefer just searching for a general term.

Siri will then pull in recent tweets containing the search term or specific hashtag.

Tap on a tweet to read more, view details, or launch in the Twitter app.

How to see what's trending on Twitter with Siri

Press and hold down the Home button or say "Hey, Siri" to activate Siri.

Say something like What's currently trending on Twitter? or "What are the top trending topics on Twitter?"

Siri will then pull in recent trending topics or tweets that are trending depending on what you asked for.

Tap on a tweet to read more, view details, or launch in the Twitter app.

That's all there is to it. While Siri can't technically do everything Twitter related, you can definitely keep up with things while not able to casually browse. Try it out and let us know how it works for you!

I believe that to be too juvenile for Apple but that would be so much fun. Even if it were a bot like "Inigo Montoya"... Of course, the real problem with that is Siri's identity is in her vocalizations, so carrying on a text interaction with her would be a mute point.
Great, I was excited about that until I thought about it.
:P

However, a "tips for using Siri" account on Twitter featuring the same sort of ideas as in this post would be a big hit. It could be something like "Want to see what's trending on Twitter using Siri?" followed by a link to a mini-post with just that advice. Even just focusing on Siri alone, I'd think someone industrious could get a few hundred thousand followers very quickly.

I would like to see an @Siri that posted techy/trendy Apple updates with a bit of Siri's hidden gems of humor and banter.
I would like to see that very much, but having a feeling for Apple's stance it might currently be inconceivable. (Quiet Inigo!)
